House · S1, E9
DNR
Legendary jazz musician, John Henry Giles, checks in to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital believing he's dying from ALS and signs a DNR to avoid a slow death. Yet House disagrees with the diagnosis and goes against everyone's wishes when he violates the DNR to save Giles' life. The decision lands House in court, drives Foreman to consider another job, and results in Giles' paralysis to worsen. Despite everything, Giles makes a connection with House, and agrees to his treatment. But Dr. Cuddy and the team are not so convinced.
